Today’s words are
‘Venture forth‘
which means to set out; to go forward; to go out cautiously.
They thought she was crazy. But she didn’t care. If she did not do this now, she would never do it ever. As a child, when she told her friends that her dream was to go around the world on her skateboard, they thought she had lost it. Her own parents asked her to think rationally. Concerned that they were about her well-being.
It took her years to build up on her energy levels, save up financially and chuck her secure job. But what the heck, what use was the security if it fed your body but did not feed your soul, she told herself. You got to venture forth and take the plunge to ignite your passions and reach out for what you set your heart on. No matter what they say, you just got to do it.
And here she was today, with her backpack slung onto her shoulder and her skateboard all prepped up for the long journey ahead. Blowing out kisses to her loved ones, she took a deep breath and off she was, wheeling on her fantasy board, zipping through the world just the way she wanted to see it.
Linking this to the Blogging from A to Z (April 2015) for the letter V.

Yes indeed. All it takes is courage and determination.
Inspiring Vinodini. We shouldn't to those who tell we can't but believe in the self, set the wings on fire and drive towards the sky:)
Yes Vishal! True.
Good for her as feeding the body but not the soul is a sad situation! <3 What a different world it would be if we all did – and could – do just that! Venture forth into the world doing what we love…what a different world we would live in. Can you imagine? No wars! 🙂 <3
That would be a perfect world to live in Elly…if all of us could do only what we wish to and not what we have to. Yeah, no wars and absolute bliss!
Beautiful post, when we step out of our comfort zone and follow our passion, we find wings to fly.
Yes Suzy, and that flight would be worth all of it 🙂
What use was the security if it fed your body but did not feed your soul…. Beautiful!!!

Yes! Here s to setting out, following dreams, chasing passions! Live life! Happy for her! Inspiring post:-)
Yeah, here's to all of us Eli! May each of us get the courage and inspiration to follow our dreams <3
She didn't compromise, didn't let her fears and those of others stop her from doing what she wanted to do. Brave girl.
Brave indeed, Sulekha. One needs to be truly passionate to do that.
